Fifth Third Bank today announced the launch of its new RevLink Express product, an easy-to-use solution designed to increase back office efficiencies for small-and medium-sized healthcare providers.

RevLink Express, a part of the Fifth Third Bank RevLink SolutionsSM healthcare product suite, offers clients the ability to post and manage paper-based claim payments online, streamlining receivables management activities without requiring complex data integration. Healthcare staff can also quickly review paper and electronic claim payment history indexed by elements including patient name, account number, payer and other topical fields to quicken research and other follow-up activities.

“RevLink Express takes our product offering to a new level,” said Stuart Hanson, vice president of Healthcare Solutions at Fifth Third Bank. “We now offer a breadth of solutions that can be easily implemented and provide dramatic value to healthcare providers of virtually any size.”

By leveraging Fifth Third Bank’s image-based lockbox network and new virtual Healthcare Electronic Deposit Manager, claim payments and Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) are imaged and indexed at a patient level. This allows for enhanced ease of access and quick retrieval from the Bank’s secure web-based RevLink PortalSM.

RevLink Express offers an effective alternative for providers who do not have the volumes, resources or abilities to utilize Fifth Third Bank's full suite of integrated revenue cycle solutions and services offered in the Bank’s comprehensive RevLink PremierSM product.
